I think it's the early Norwood cars that didn't have them. Started mid-year, late January.

I think he says some paint marks in the trunk may mean it got stripes. That's a leap!

I wondered about that claim too, I had never heard that one before.

He was doing videos at the camaro nationals this year

Wow, tough crowd here. Parker is trying to build a YouTube channel. I like his videos. He reports on many different types of cars but seems to gravitate towards first gen Camaros. He seems to be about 99% accurate with the info he provides. Needs to polish his delivery a bit but he is getting better. Nice to see a younger guy interested in first gens. I think his channel and parting/flipping are his main job. Why would you call him a clown? Or a scammer? You want to see real clowns, check the Facebook first gen forums.

Well now I know Chevy put the tall rear bumper guards on so we can push the cars off the race track.

I have watched a few of his videos and generally liked them. He did, however, cover the Grumpy's Toy IV '68 Camaro at the Nationals in one of his videos and represented it as real...or at least he allowed the owner to represent it as real, without interruption or correction. My understanding is that car is a well-known fake.

I agree, there are a LOT of clowns on fb. BUT, it doesn't diminish the fact that he is stating incorrect information as though it is fact in his vids. Millions of people will see those and believe what he says as fact and start repeating it. There is waaaay too much misinformation already on the web, to the point that many people have no idea WHAT to believe anymore. I have nothing against him and he does come across as a decent person. If he wants to build a reputation as a credible source of information, he NEEDS to know the facts and stick to them, not spew his observations and conjecture as facts.

I was giving this Parker guy the benefit of the doubt that he was truly trying to learn to do the right thing with his YouTube channel on these classics but after watching a few videos I'm in the, Yep "he's a clown/scammer" camp now!
A viewer asks "Why did you skip over the cowl tag?...Did I miss something?...or is the cowl tag missing? Parkers response "Trim tag wasn't on the car and its hard to explain what isn't there... Most of the time you find a Camaro in the wild, cowl tag is gone... Also.. fuel lines have been removed due to the car being raced.. I tried to provide real world knowledge that I use in a junkyard daily to figure out what cars are.." Then he says "This car didn’t have one like most project Camaros, and you can fake/get remade to anything you want for 200$" :rolleyes2: Then one of the viewers says "Fake tags are illegal. Most experts can spot a fake tag . Without original drive train and paperwork its just a 69 Camaro"

Some of his Yenko youtube stuff appears to be AI generated and has a bunch of mistakes.

On one he states Don Yenko died in 1982 (he died in 1987).

One funny mistake states a 1967 Yenko option was a NHRA approved wind shield
(they mean NHRA approved scatter shield)

A lot of mistakes on the 1967 Yenkos.
